Sinopsis

Excerpt from Messages to Mothers, a Protest Against Methods: Presenting a Simple, Practical and Natural Scheme for the Right Diet, Care and Treatment of Mother and Child, and for the Conservation of Power in Physiological Functions, the Result of Twenty-Three Years of Successful Practice

It requires much more power to operate the brain in the processes of voluntary and designed thinking than it does to operate any combina tion of muscles at the hardest manual labor dur ing the same length of time. From any com parison of the maximum number of hours at mental labor and at manual labor, respectively, that men can endure per day and retain their normal weight with good digestion, sleep and good temper, it is deducible that an hour of purely original mental work costs even more power than two and one-half hours of hard man ual labor.

Excerpt from Messages to Mothers, a Protest Against Methods: Presenting a Simple, Practical and Natural Scheme for the Right Diet, Care and Treatment of Mother and Child, and for the Conservation of Power in Physiological Functions, the Result of Twenty-Three Years of Successful Practice

This work is the combined utilitarian results of a series of vital human-nature studies; as pursued by a regular physician in the course of twenty-three years of practice. The work is offered as a contribution to the common stock of hygienic learning.

It is addressed primarily to mothers, because it concerns them chiefly, and because the writer therefore regards them as the most impartial judges of the findings presented, and because through women lies the line of host resistance to these particular steps in the progress of hygienic learning. If my work passes woman's trial and judgment, it will receive the serious attention of the medical profession all the sooner for having been first submitted to women.

I do not encourage the domestic practice of medicine, and, with one harmless exception, have not mentioned a drug or a medicine.

I recognize a subconscious intelligence, otherwise referred to as nature or instinct, the promptings of which are called intuitions.
